Default Tail Light not coming on?? Help

I have an 08 Nismo and the tail lights are not coming on. The brake lights work but when I turn on the headlights, the tail lights dont come on. I cant seem to locate the fuse. Can anyone help??

I thought they were the same bulb, but just a different intensity

There is a fuse panel down by the clutch in the left side of the footwell.

Havent installed the Alteeza's yet. I just noticed that the factory tail lights werent working. I cant find the tail light fuse. On my manual it shows TAIL LIGHTS in the fuse compartment near the battery. When I go look at it there is no fuse. I put a 10 amp spare fuse there and still no light...

I know you guys dont like the aftermarket lights, but I will post pics. I just think that the RED tail lights just dont match the rest of the car. If it's that bad, I'll just put the stock ones back.

You may have more wrong than just a fuse. Why aren't you simply taking it to a dealer and having this repaired under warranty?

+1 for warranty work. Although figuring out a tail light problem shouldn't be too hard?

Trust me bro, when you put that junk tails on, you will soon change your mind and asked yourself why you spent an x amount of $ on this piece of crap lights..

Ok guys, thanks for the comments. I love my NISMO except I just cant stand the red tail lights. The red just doesnt match anything and the black out film just looks cheap. These Alteezas match the gray wheels and the aero kit perfectly. Let me know your thoughts.

Stay with the stock lights.

Oh, and I fixed your images.
